Our history

Once two separate regions, the communities of EPA and Hagesher have come together to create the new region, Mizrach USY. With a new Regional Executive Board and Regional General Board, we believe that we are more inclusive than ever before.

What we believe

As a region, we believe in creating a vibrant and meaningful Jewish community within the Southern New Jersey, Greater Philadelphia, and Eastern Pennsylvania areas, as well as establishing a strong connection and relationship with Judaism and the broader Jewish community.
